Bluffton Community Swimming Pool is now open to the general public – meaning an expansion from the initial limitation to Bluffton-only swimmers.

The decision to open the pool to the wider community came from the village park and recreation board late last week.

The decision came after assessing patron admissions in its first week of swimming.

The pool will still remain limited to 100 swimmers at a time and 125 persons in the pool area.
